AKTU Fluid Mechanics Lab (BCE353) Syllabus PDF – B.Tech 2nd Year

Note: Students will perform minimum 10 experiments from the following:

1. To verify the momentum equation using the experimental set-up on impact of jet.
2. To determine the coefficient of discharge of an orifice of a given shape. Also to determine the coefficient of velocity and the coefficient of contraction of the orifice mouth piece.
3. To calibrate an orifice meter and study the variation of the co-efficient of discharge with the Reynolds number.
4. To calibrate a Venturimeter and study the variation of the co-efficient of discharge with the Reynolds number.
5. To calibrate a bend meter and study the variation of the co-efficient of discharge with the Reynolds number.
6. Verification of Bernoulli’s Theorem
7. To study the transition from laminar to turbulent flow and to determine the lower critical Reynolds number.
8. To study the velocity distribution in a pipe and also to compute the discharge by integrating the velocity profile.
9. To study the variation of friction factor, ‘f’ for turbulent flow in commercial pipes.
10. To study the boundary layer velocity profile over a flat plate and to determine the boundary layer thickness.
11. To determine Meta-centric height of a given ship model.
12. To determine the head loss for a sudden enlargement, sudden contraction and losses in bend.
13. Flow Visualization -Ideal Flow
14. To make studies in Wind Tunnel (Aerofoil and circular cylinder).
